We'll only write to you about Porta Christi. Unsubscribe any time. Your address is kept private and never shared.

What donors receive

The Christus Crown

Every donor is recognized in the Christus Crown (CRWN) — the official currency of Porta Christi. Gifts are acknowledged with an allocation of Crowns, the digital layer of our tri-currency economy alongside the U.S. dollar and the Goldback. Crowns are a token of participation and standing within the village: they mark you as one of its builders, and in time will be usable within the village economy for goods, lodging, and craft from our guilds.

Crowns are commemorative and communal — they do not represent ownership, equity, or investment rights in the foundation. Read the Christus Crown whitepaper.

The First 500

The first 500 donors will each receive a rare Genesis Donor trading card — individually numbered, with a maximum authorized print run of 500. Holographic foil, gilded heraldry, and an NFC chip and QR code for authentication. Once the 500 are given, no further cards will ever be struck.

Porta Christi is a proposed project currently in the planning and feasibility stages.

A contribution does not guarantee that the project will receive approval, acquire a particular property, proceed to construction, or be completed as currently envisioned. Except where required by law, contributions are non-refundable and may be expended during the feasibility stage.
